Midweek post:

Hi Everybody!

We had another wild and windy day here, but at least the wind kept the rain off most of the time, so that's something!

I have one more tag for my 'Spring is in the air' challenge at Tag Tuesday. I used the masterboard for the background and another stamp from Catherine Moore. She seems to be related to the other bird girl I showed last week. And I couldn't resist using another bunny, I just love those bunnies! You still have a week to link to us, and there will be a prize for one participant picked randomly, so hope to see some more people joining in:

And here are all 5 together. I made 6, but still haven't found the sixth one, although I cleared everything off my table. It has just disappeared. I hope I find it one day!

I made these little birds to send off together with a card as happy mail to David. As they have already landed in Canada I can now show them. They were hand cut (with a lot of difficulty) from a piece of card recycled from some packaging and painted and textured with pink and blue acrylics. I am linking to TIOT, recycle or go green:

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment in Düsseldorf, so made the most of the few sunny minutes before the rain came down again to take some pictures:

This mural is an ad for a bookshop (The quote has been altered to read, 'You can only read well with your heart'):

On both sides of the rail-tracks they are building more and more apartments and offices, and they are really expensive. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live here and even paying lots of money for it:

I'm always happy to come back home and enjoy the river, meadows and the sheep and other animals and birds:

Last week this path was covered by the Rhine. It has receded a lot, but is still quite high:

  The Canadian geese love it:

Kids were writing in the mud on the path:

And I'm always happy to see spring flowers:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for a Tag and more

Hi Everybody!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Here we had spring like temperatures up to 19° together with high winds and lots of rain. The storm was worse in other places, but there was less damage overall than in last week's storm. The weather is really crazy, with the temps soaring up and down from one day to the next. And some people are still not convinced that the climate is changing!

For my 'spring is in the air' challenge at Tag Tuesday I have another tag made from the same masterboard. And I still hope that a few other people will join in!
The background stamps are from Artemio. I added a bunny again, as I love these little creatures, and I saw some real ones today:

And I have another journal page for Elizabeth's 'hearts' challenge at AJJ
made using elements from Serif, Mischief Circus and me on a hand-painted and glittered background:

This evening will be  time for our weekly T sTands for Tuesday gathering at Elizabeth's blog, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies who visit. Our local ice-cream parlour opened again this week after 2 months winter-break, so we went there for our afternoon snack. Nathalie had  a Latte Macchiato and I had a cappuccino, and we both ate waffles, as we hadn't had any lunch:

And we went back another day, but this time just for drinks:

And yesterday I cleared my working table in the kitchen. I forgot to take a 'before' pic, but suffice it to say that the bowl was NOT visible under all of the 

junk stash that was on the table:

And my window-ledge garden is blooming nicely:

These pics were taken on my Sunday morning walk:

And I still have a couple of photos from the garden centre I visited last week:

This shop is in our little town:

More photos from today's walk:

The paths were very muddy:

 But the trees are enjoying the warm, wet weather:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
